I like driving with windows down, but I get too much direct wind into my car. Do they deflect some of the wind while driving with windows down?

They deflect some, but are more for keeping rain from coming in with the windows cracked in a parking lot. They actually make a little more noise since the aerodynamics of the car are offset.

Hi.. It would appear it is only a design function, i my self would avoid anything that could be effected by the wind etc. i would just stick with the tried and true, happy viewing.

I have installed the wind deflector on my 2005 Z 3Oi and it works well and even better if your windows are up. It's easy to install and only needs warm water and dish soap to clean. Try the web site for more info, call and ask!

I have two of these, one I installed with a down rod and the other I did not. So far I have not had any issues w/ either of them but I understand the air flow might be better if you install the down rod.

I never really noticed. I run the AC all the time. It only covers your field of vision when in the down position while you're driving. Its not meant to keep the car cool. There are reflective panels that can be placed against the inside windshield to keep the car cool when not in use.

Yes. It's nice if you get in and out of your car often. If you're driving a long time, put the vent where it blows on your feet. That feeds colder air to the fan

I do have tint on the rear windows, I did not roll the windows up and down however. The plastic tabs that seat in the window jam tended to come out on their own so if the window was rolled up and down it would definitely have caused the cargo guard to fall off. Seeing how hard the tabs are, it is my opinion that they would easily scratch the tint, I would not recommend rolling up and down.

Readjust your shield so wind deflects over your head. The shield is very adjustable. I have no such problem with mine

We have A lot of wind here. Not as much as you but we tie ours down with bungee cords and have not had any problems

If you put them under the edge of the hood they will not hurt the paint. The directions should tell you how to put them on and were to put them properly. I have them on my VW just under the edge of the hood and have not had a problem with them with the wind. Good Luck

You can roll the window up or down no problem, but the tabs sometime slip out and the guard will fall in the seat. We used them in the summer with air conditioner so wasn't an issue for us.

I guess that could be true as all the windows probably won't be covered. BUT...it definitely lessens the heat on myself after I put them up. I have even put one on top of another at times when I wanted more shade. They are so versatile, awesome and cheap! You can put them up quickly and take them down quickly (which I often do when we change direction and sun is in a different place or if blocking view for driver). I also often fold one in half and stick it on part of my passenger side window when I don't need the whole window covered. TIP: I found when I put them on the dash in the sun to warm up for awhile before putting them up, they cling better. Hope that helps!

Straps go through the car. Of course, make sure you do that with the doors open, and not through an open window. ;-) Keep in mind your head height as well. If you already have only a little extra head room, this may end up touching your head. And it'll make vibration noise inside as well from the outside portions vibrating in the wind. If neither of that will bother you, then it'll be fine.

Yes you can although it may be a little inconvenient when you need to wind down your windscreen and depending on how wide the window of the driver side is. Also it may hinder your sight when you need to look before driving off or turning. Hope this helps.

Works great. Just remember some windows go ALL the way down when u push the down botton!

You can raise and lower your window just fine but it can make a loud squealing noise as the plastic rubs the window. I'm concerned that over time this could scratch the window or the tint so I don't do it very often. Also, the rubber seal between the door panel and the window is now bent downward on one of the windows. I don't know if that will ever be an issue. Either way, these door panels are well worth it. Protects from slobber and nails.

I have not had any complaint, but I will close my windows or turn down the AC fan during a call. The main reason for that is I have to turn down the volume on my radio. Incoming calls come in much louder than what I am listening to. My speakers are not the best, worn OEM speakers, they get over driven easily. I have the mic/button mounted on my rear view mirror and it works great.
